Empires and Allies is a single and multi player game, based on war strategy. The game is identical to the Disney multiplayer game Star Wars Commander which was released one year before Empires and Allies. In 2020 Zynga, the creators of Empires and Allies, acquired the rights to Star Wars Commander and promised the then large community of Star Wars Commander players improvements to the game and then cancelled it six months later.
Empires and Allies was the brainchild ofMark Skaggs. It was started by the former chief executiveDon Mattrick and carried on by his replacementMark Pincus, the original founder of Zynga. The theme of this game is a reboot from its first incarnation, a cartoonish asynchronous combat game with heavy emphasis on social worldbuilding.[3]
